Hi All My name is Marcos Guglielmetti, "co-director" ("release manager", in fact) of Musix GNU+Linux. We are now testing: linux-image-2.6.26-libre - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.26-libre but it's not yet realtime patched. Well, I just hope to learn some things and to help in some issues. We at Argentina are introducing FOSS Musix GNU+Linux on music schools; for now, the experience is great! Cheers!

Alexandre Oliva <lxoliva(a)fsfla.org> builds the *libre kernels (without the Linux blobs) Tapani Räikkönen <tapani.raikkonen(a)ilmainen.net> builds the Musix kernels from there. We are testing the *libre kernels. There are no problems with them, but, because Musix is a Live CD-DVD distro, we need aufs and we could not build the kernel using the realtime patches+aufs, for now. Alexandre and Tapani are trying it, maybe Free could help, I dont know, maybe we all could work together. This mailing list should be good? http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-tuning We are not using squashfs for now, because knoppix does not use it (but in the short future, that's possible). | Perhaps | we can arrive at a shared config or even binaries that all | Debian-derived multimedia distros can use. Well: that's possible, we use Debian ETCH for now, so all the kernel headers will work fine on ETCH. But we will move on the near future, I think. | I know of four based on | Debian - Musix, 64 Studio, Ubuntu Studio and Pure:Dyne, but there | may be others. Artistix...? | Plus there are the users of regular Debian who need | an RT kernel. | Yes, there are some kernels from Musix that they/you can use # Musix GNU+Linux (stable+backports) /etc/apt/sources.list #deb ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/ ./ Also, Gilberto Borges included a function on the musixcontrol panel to make a realtime enabled Debian distro from any debian based distro. ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/painelmusix-1.7_i386.deb | Are you doing anything with Debian Lenny yet? No: just SID: testing SID to see what happens :), but we are not focused on SID for now, we are just happy with ETCH, backporting some packages (ardour and so), so it's not necessary to upgrade to lenny or sid for now | Our experience is | that it's not really stable enough to recommend to users, so our | main concern is to solve multimedia package bugs. There is no | Ardour in Lenny, for instance. | I did not knew that! that's odd! | > We at Argentina are introducing FOSS Musix GNU+Linux on music | > schools; for now, the experience is great! | | I recently wrote an article about using GNU/Linux in a school | music club, and because of that I was asked to help with | music-related information for http://www.schoolforge.net/ | Great! this web page is cool What is exactly the article's URL Regards -- Marcos Guglielmetti - www.foros.musix.es | Soporte comunitario "Si no se tiene el coraje de vivir como se piensa se termina pensando cómo se vive."

I installed it with `dpkg -i .. && update-initramfs -k 2.6.26-libre -c && update-grub` - just like http://guests.goto10.org/~krgn/files/ The latter worked out of the box and I'll keep it running for a few hours but if you have suggestions I can try to reproduce and fix it; probably just a missing module.. for the 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller (rev 02). and a minor thing: I am missing SysRq-key support on the libre kernel. 2.6.26-rt-devel is the first kernel where I have an HDA soundcard running without xruns for longer than 30 mins now; JACK on 2048 f/p * 3p but even so; in 2.6.24 it lasts only a few seconds) I'm gonna add some load and try USB after the first x-run.. Besides 2.6.26-rt1-krgn I've been pulling from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-linux.git instead of using the -rt1 patch. If you can agree on git, we can provide infrastructure at linuxaudio.org. You are welcome to host your own repository; LAO can mirror or put forward a combined request to kernel.org; which I think is what the linux-audio-tuning list is all about. It's hard to anticipate what you guys need. Maybe a wiki and a rsync for .config files is sufficient. but automated snapshot or build environments are not out of scope. cheers, robin
